Eighteenth Century stripes

I LOVE striped fabric, especially when you have an interestingly cut design - the stripes are great for showing it off. Stripes were really popular in the eighteenth century, especially towards the end of the century after the French Revolution. Stripes have always had connotations of boldness and daring, a willingness to test the boundaries of social tolerance, so post- revolutionary society probably used them to signal their non-conformism.
